Mark,
        How much do you need? (lenth)  I could send you some scrap ends
from work of  the good stuff.

I just fixed a mike using a scrap keyboard cable, it is multi-conductor, shielded, and had the curly thing like a telephone cord.

The Canare™ cable sold at pro audio stores works nice.

Well Mark, as they say "its in the mail" hi.
You shoud have it by Friday.
A few years back I drove accross Merritt Island on
my way back from a trip to the cape. I could not
help but notice some really cool looking junk yards
along the way. I wanted to bring a Atlas Rocket home
but my Del sol couldn't handle the weight. (sigh)
